Solution Overview

Problem

Existing phosphorus removal methods for domestic sewage, particularly in rural high-altitude mountainous areas, are sensitive to environmental factors and lack efficient biological treatment agents with robust phosphorus accumulation and removal capabilities under aerobic conditions.

Innovation Solution

The use of Acinetobacter pittii strain FL3-2, isolated from high-altitude soil, which exhibits strong phosphorus accumulation capacity and can remove phosphorus from sewage under solely aerobic conditions, forming the basis of a bacterial composition for effective sewage treatment.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If conventional polyphosphate-accumulating organisms are used for phosphorus removal in rural high-altitude mountainous areas, then phosphorus removal function is achieved, but the system becomes highly sensitive to environmental factors such as pH, temperature and dissolved oxygen

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvephosphorus removal stabilityVSAvoidenvironmental factor sensitivity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the biological parameter by replacing conventional polyphosphate-accumulating organisms with Acinetobacter pittii FL3-2, which has been isolated and adapted to high-altitude environmental conditions. This strain exhibits significantly reduced sensitivity to pH, temperature and dissolved oxygen fluctuations while maintaining effective phosphorus removal capability, thus resolving the contradiction between removal stability and environmental adaptability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Reliability

If conventional aerobic/anaerobic sequencing batch processes are used for phosphorus removal, then phosphorus accumulation is achieved, but the process complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvephosphorus accumulation capabilityVSAvoidprocess sequencing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts and eliminates the anaerobic phase from the conventional aerobic/anaerobic sequencing process by using Acinetobacter pittii FL3-2, which can accumulate phosphorus effectively under solely aerobic conditions. This simplifies the treatment process from two-phase sequencing to single-phase aerobic treatment while maintaining phosphorus removal efficiency, resolving the contradiction between accumulation capability and process complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)
